Crochet for a happier you

Crochet Super Scarf Pattern

Crochet Super Scarf: free pattern

I have always loved long, over sized scarves so this ‘wear a blanket around your neck’ trend is making me very happy. Unfortunately I live in Florida so when I set out to make my own crochet super scarf pattern I knew I had to cut down on the bulk a little and make it somewhat lacy. I came up with a simple shell stitch scarf pattern that will let me and others from a warmer climate, participate in this trend but not get heat stroke in December 🙂

What you need to crochet your lacy super scarf

You will need about 12 to 14 oz of worsted weight yarn (around 350 grams)

I used about 2 skeins of Red Heart with Love in Peacock and one skein Red Heart Super Saver yarn in gold.

Why I like this super scarf crochet pattern

I think this is a great stitch for beginners since the pattern is a simple one row repeat but the product comes out looking quite intricate. The stitch is lacy and wont be too bulky and heavy around your neck while still looking over sized.

Stitches used

Shell stitch:

make 6 dc in same st

Fake double crochet decrease (fdcdec):

This is worked like a dc decrease but it’s made into a single st. Work as follows:

yarn over (yo), insert hook into indicated st, yo and pull up a loop (lp), yo and pull through 2, yo, insert hook into same st, yo and pull up a lp, yo and pull through 2 lps, yo and pull through all remaining lps on hook.

Begin by ch 32

Row 1:

sc in second ch from hook, sc to end

Row 2:

ch 2, dc in same st, *sk next 2 st, make a shell st in next st, sk next 2 st, make a dc in next st, repeat from * to end, before the last dc of your row make a fdcinc instead! This will keep your edges looking neat and even.
